While she works and lives in Russia, she has been part of shows in major cities outside of Moscow, including Amsterdam, London and Tokyo.

If you can’t make it on Saturday, the exhibition (including other artists) will be on view at the Museum until June 3rd on weekends: Friday 4-7pm; Saturdays & Sundays 1-5pm.
